Mine was the same way and finally turned the corner at 3. Even then he still only makes what he calls “nocturnal stinkies” (in the bathroom with no lights). It looked bleak for us in the 10 or so weeks until it finally clicked. Keep trying but don’t push too hard. What helped is we stacked all the diapers in his room and told him those were all that were left. He slowly watched them dwindle down and then made 1 with 6 diapers left.

3 years old isn't super late. Our 4 year old only came around recently.

Barring any external deadline (e.g. preschool, daycare, etc.), I would just be patient. Not worth the frustration.

Something like preschool in the fall could also be a positive motivator to encourage the kid to come around on his/her own.

Everyone potty training advice is that 3 days full on worked for me. And we’ve tried, but it didn’t work. Are we really the only bad parents (*joking*) out there or was it actually hard for some of you too?

The 3 day plan works for some supposedly...but sometime I feel like we are on the 3 year plan 😳

I went through the exact same thing with one of my boys. Perseverance is key! We tried a number of tactics until we found some that worked

Frustrating. Keep at it. Every kid is different. They aren’t any 8 olds with this problem. They’ll all get there.

My first 2 didn’t walk until 16 months but potty trained fully at 26 months with nighttime by 32

Right there with you. Absolute nightmare with my 3 yo. He is now 3years and 8 months and we are still not 100% there. It’s much older than when most kids get there, but you can only force it so much. Pull ups are the worst and so is day care - these two things have set us back a year imo.

We got lucky with good external motivators - done by 2yo. He loved getting to watch some YouTube for asking to go potty. And when that was not available we did chocolate chips. We are still riding that train at 3.5 now.

Try reading a fave book while in there..

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.

We recently sleep trained our 7 month son. He went from waking up multiple times during night and taking only 30 minute naps 3 times during day (most cases nursed to sleep or rocked to sleep or took a drive) to sleeping 12 hours at night without interruption and two 2 hour naps and one 45 minutes nap during day. We both love that he is getting enough sleep and well rested on one hand. On the other hand, we are now wondering if he is sleeping way too much.. contd…

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
